Georgia and Eric’s side both jolted, taken aback. Then staccato gunshots continued to ring out, like machinegun fire.
Robert pushed Georgia behind him consciously.
“Get in the car. I’ll get Emilia back.”
Georgia watched as Wilson led Robert, Ivan and the other bodyguards into the danger zone of the factory.
Not long afterwards, she saw the factory start burning, the flames furious.
She and Aston were blocked in the car sitting down. The two of them didn’t know how to shoot, and they’d only get in the way out there.
But sitting here and waiting, Georgia was growing more and more apprehensive.
She was afraid that they wouldn’t rescue Emilia, and that Wilson and Robert and the others would get hurt.
But after the gunshot sounded, there came a helicopter flying over a short moment later.
It was the police, of course. With a third party involved, everything devolved into chaos.
Georgia’s side was the one to call the police, specifically to introduce said chaos into the scene. The messy battle continued for half an hour.
Georgia just so happened to see a bloodied Emilia rushed over being held by several people. One of the people holding her up was Kayden.
After Kayden helped Emilia into the car, Georgia drove off swiftly.
Over the intercom, she heard Wilson and Robert’s orders to leave immediately. They would follow soon enough.
For the period afterwards, Georgia drove like she was deranged, trying to leave the danger zone as soon as possible.
She didn’t even ask why Kayden had helped Emilia here, or why Kayden had done all that.
All she knew was that she had to hurry and get to the hospital.
After the car reached the hospital, Georgia had just taken Emilia inside when she received news from Robert’s side.
“It was a draw. Eric’s escaped again. He had a lot of traps prepared, but Kayden betrayed him. She revealed part of the traps and dismantled another part of it, then used the sudden gunshot as an opportunity to rescue Emilia. Robert made an immediate decision to trust her and let our side help her get Emilia out.
“Robert and Wilson will be headed here soon. A lot of their men are hurt. Robert’s telling Georgia to wait in patience. He’s fine.”
After going into the hospital and having just taken Emilia inside, Georgia found that Kayden had been shot in the arm, and she was bleeding.
So she had Kayden go into the operating room to have the bullet taken out as well. She and Aston waited anxiously outside.
The two of them were both worried, and with Robert’s news, she relayed them in brief to Aston.
“…we don’t know why, but Kayden helped us this time. She’s still in there going through surgery. No matter what happened between you two, I don’t know how you feel about her, but let her rest. When she’s out of danger, we’ll ask our questions.”
Aston chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
“I bear a huge grudge against her, but the one person who still weighs on my mind the most is still her. She didn’t want me. I thought she was just using me. Now I don’t get it. Why is she helping us?
“Is it because she’s not willing to help Eric, a madman, or because she just so happens to care just a bit about me and is unwilling to hurt my sister? Am I just making too much of it?”
At Aston’s question, Georgia sighed.
“There might be a lot of reasons. People lead complicated lives. Just because she made a decision doesn’t mean she won’t regret it. She might have been using you to begin with, but as genuine as you were with her, she might have been moved by you once. She might even like you. But whether she wants to be with you and whether you still have a chance, that’s up to you. If you really want to continue your relationship with Kayden, Aston, then you have to be honest with her.
“Of course, before that, you have to resolve your situation with Anaya. What do you care about? You must know it yourself, but don’t drag your feet and make your own situation worse.”
Aston smiled bitterly and shook his head.
